2022 book 139

 Lois McMaster Bujold's The Curse of Chalion

See, THIS is why I don't usually read in bed, because even though I planned to go to sleep early, and even though I have read this book more than once before, I could not put it down! It's just so interesting and satisfying to see the whole story--involving magic, gods, court intrigue, saints, the titular curse, and a tiny bit of romance--play out. I really love Bujold's world-building in these books (and the Pen and Desdemona ones, which are also set in this world) and the characters in this one are super compelling. Just a really rewarding read.
